The Obama administration condemned a terrorist attack on a bus Wednesday in Tel Aviv that wounded at least 10 people.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those injured and with the people of Israel," said a statement from White House spokesman Jay Carney. "These attacks against innocent Israeli civilians are outrageous."

Carney said, "The United States will stand with our Israeli allies and provide whatever assistance is necessary to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of this attack. The United States reaffirms our unshakable commitment to Israel's security and our deep friendship and solidarity with the Israeli people."
